Obviously, notmuch is already indexing some headers, (From, Date, To, Subject), and it wouldn't be hard to index more. [*] List-Id has been proposed often enough that it should probably be on by default. Then, there are other, slightly more special-case headers, (like headers added by spam filtering software), that probably would be best added on an opt-in basis based on a configuration option. -Carl [*] The existing set of indexed headers is really just historical accident based on two things: 1. I was originally writing index code to match sup's index building, so I focused on the headers sup indexed. 2. I wrote code to index enough headers to satisfy my use case. It's embarrassing to me that I added this note to the notmuch TODO file in October 2009 (and it's still there): Add support for the user to specify custom headers to be indexed. -- carl.d.worth@intel.com
